Installing and Configuring PCI 10/100 Base-TX

Following are the limits of the current PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000:

• The PCI 10/100Base-TX/9000 ports support autonegotiation and

autosensing. You should not normally need to manually configure the
speed, autonegotiation, or duplex mode of the card. If your switch does
not support autonegotiation but is set to full-duplex mode, there may
be a mismatch between the card and the switch, because the card
defaults to half-duplex for switches that do not support
autonegotiation. You can determine what the card is set to by using

 and reset it if necessary using

. See

“Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration” for details.

If you manually set the speed and duplex mode of the Base-TX card,
autonegotiation will be turned off.

• Both full- and half-duplex modes are supported. If your hub or switch

does not support autonegotiation, ensure that your hub or switch is
set to the desired duplex mode.

• The PCI 0/100Base-TX/9000 LAN software is for use with only the

following protocols: TCP/IP, ARPA, and NFS.

• When using the ioscan -f command to verify installation, the last digit

of the H/W Path (hardware path) will show the port number of the
card. The other fields of the output will show the driver as btlan , and
the Hardware Type Description will be PCI.
